The members of Holden’s CROP Walk committee wish to thank everyone who made this year’s CROP Hunger Walk a huge success. Sixty walkers and six canine walkers walked the 5.4 mile route. We raised over $11,000 for world hunger relief. We reached our goal for our 40th walk and now our total is $303,000. Of the money we raised, twenty five percent will be donated to the Wachusett Food Pantry and Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry.

We wish to thank the walkers, the sponsors, the van driver, and the volunteers who provided refreshments and worked in the kitchen for making this walk a success. The entertainment following the walk was provided by the musical group Hit the Bus. They were great.

Thanks also to Maines Paper and Food Service by providing the soup for our event. We also want to thank our local businesses who allowed us to put our coin banks in their stores, Jed's hardware, McKinley Liquor, Brattle Stop Market, Rocky's Ace Hardware and Holden Discount Liquor

Thank you for a successful event. We will see you again next year at our 41st CROP Hunger Walk.
